Nice! Do you have a script or something to alert you to these milestones?

tried to build on freebsd 13.0. build failed in what appears to be the same way with `gmake` and `make`. i'm just a monkey behind a keyboard, but here's a log w/ some hopefully relevant info before i go to bed. paste.debian.net/1209504

garth no, it's semi-manual. I have a script to download data from monerod and then I run a script to find the block with highest diff

Today I learned that someone owns 200 MH/s of RandomX hashrate: miningrigrentals.com/rigs/204407

p2pool hashrate is over 2 MH/s

we should mine a block in a few days at this speed

almost 3 MH/s: paste.debian.net/hidden/b32aea92

I barely qualify for 0.009370659848 XMR with my 30 kh/s in the next p2pool block, lol

BLOCK FOUND: main chain block at height 2437679 was mined by this p2pool

my mac flaked out again, had to toggle wifi off and on

what a piece of shit this thing is

and of course, no wired ethernet port

thunderbolt to ethernet toggle exists

but costs $30 or so

this thing has only 2 usb-c ports, nothing else

and I doubt that going thru a usb-ethernet adapter will be more reliable than onboard wifi

yea it's the same port

wow, did we find a block already?

thunderbold / usb4

6.931 MH/s, wow

we got a block? my wallet is still zero. mebbe it fell out of the window while mac was disconnected

probably

now I have no p2pool peers

Your node has always been very glitchy, my nodes were banning it left and right

Payout confirmed: i.imgur.com/dGQi7yu.png

yeah looks like it's still banned

oh well. obviously can't run this on the mac

sech1> 6.931 MH/s, wow >>> wat?

I think it's xmrvsbeast redirecting some of his hashrate

or buying at miningrigrentals

ooh on p2pool

7.597 MH/s now

The hunger for p2pool is great

funny that it didn't seem to catch on in btc

is it ready for a reddit post inviting mainnet testers?

The coinbase for the first p2pool block (2437679) only has three outputs. Does that mean there were only three miners on p2pool?

should be

there were more

I think hyc didn't get into PPLNS window

right

p2pool is at 8.7 MH/s now

Ok so four then? And if there are 1000 people mining on p2pool then the coinbase has 1000 outputs?

yes

Wow interesting

you need 4-5 KH/s with current p2pool difficulty to get into PPLNS window regularly

Right ok

lower hashrates will also get payouts, just not with every block found

Gotcha. Dude this is so great

I’m proud to be in this channel when the first ever p2pool block was mined on mainnet. Unironically feel like a small piece of history is being written

damn, I think xmrvsbeast is moving everything he has now...

8.957 MH/s and growing

i've got ~5kh now on 2 miners, no shares yet.

9 MH/s

gonna be back to the lottery for me :P

0.3% of the hashrate

hyc difficulty is ~90 million now, at least it's a lottery you can win every day

might plug in a phone or two now too

btw you can set fixed difficulty for your miners in the latest code

./xmrig -u "x+10000" -o 127.0.0.1:3333

to set diff 10000

could build a very braindead simple android app now, wrapped around librandomx, just input a p2pool address

no need for any other UI

how are lower difficulty shares factored in then?

they're not

it's just for the peace of mind

you know that your shares reach p2pool and eventually one of them will count as p2pool share

ah I see

damn, 1.6 seconds to add a block to Monero blockchain?

to be fair, xmrig is mining in background using all cores (Ryzen 5 3600 server)

and that block was over 300 KB, 194 transactions

difficulty still rising. are we going to brak another hashrate ath?

difficulty of Monero?

316G, not so much

it was 361G at ATH

hmm, if it takes more than a second to add Monero block, it means block takes 1-2 seconds on each node to propagate

and p2pool nodes propagate it immediately to everyone mining

immediately = only after PoW check

so just by connecting your Monero node to p2pool node, even without mining, you'll receive blocks faster

so p2pool will improve overall responsiveness of the Monero network!

sounds like monerod needs to be rewritten if it's being a bottleneck

I don't know, maybe fluffy blocks get propagated quickly too

Aren't all blocks fluffy o

blocks?

not necessarily

if your monerod didn't see some txns, it will ask for a full block

Thx

I guess that should be a rare occurrence, for a txn not to have been received before the block arrives

p2pool only mines transactions that are in dandelion++ fluff phase (broadcasted everywhere), so it should be a rare case

will the current work being done on the daemon help speed up block propagation? github.com/perfect-daemon

not yet

<hyc> if your monerod didn't see some txns, it will ask for a full block >>> i thought it tries to fetch the missing txs?

ok, lets see how easy this is

ure all on mainnet now right?

IIRC, the daemon will list the txids it does not know about, and the sending node will resend the block along with those txes.

Well, indices of the txes in the block, technically.

And yes, mainnet.

yes i just refreshed the github page and saw new instructions :)

and we already mined 1 block

Side chain hashrate = 11.748 MH/s

moneromoooo what about block propagation? Are fluffy blocks propagated ASAP or only after they're fully verified?

hrm, i assume --host is for daemon host. i have bound to differnt than home. we'll see/

--host is for where you run monerod

IP address

After verified.

so in the paste above it took my monerod 1.6 seconds to verify it

slow propagation

Doing it before would be a good way to amplify a DoS.

2021-08-29 15:58:00.5548 ZMQReader transaction #1 in json-minimal-txpool_add failed to parse, skipped it

>>> normal/

?

No

did you build monerod from my branch?

naw, master. but i found problem. was attempting to use restricted rpc port by accident

ah, i need ure branch. i can read.

you need to build it from my branch

only monerod

you can use wallet from the regular master or release-v0.17 branch

I'm not trying to steal funds :D

lol. im wondering if i should run this on the same daemon thats barfing out rpc data for remote node users.

well, only way to find bugs i guess!

if your daemon is lagging, there is a chance your p2pool shares will be rejected by other nodes

for example, if Monero network increases height and your monerod does it 5 seconds after everyone, and in those 5 seconds you find a share... it won't propagate and only your p2pool node will know about it, so it will most likely be orphaned

fatal: remote error: upload-pack: not our ref 4c700e09526a7d546394e85628c57e9490feefa0

miniupnp? annoying

try p2pool-api branch then

git checkout p2pool-api

if it's miniupnpc, git submodule sync

after git checkout?

that did it.

git checkout x, git submodule sync, git submodule init && update, make

init && update is probably redundant after sync

i thought it was redundant after --recursive, but i don't know squat

when it comes to using git, I'm a monkey

git submodule sync && git submodule update --init --force --recursive

usually fixes everything submodule related

maybe fixing miniupnp link in release-v0.17 would be better solution... Just saying :D

there is no bug

there is a specific version of miniupnp, I know

we can also change the miniupnp submodule to upstream in release branch, then it shouldn't be necessary anymore

but switching from master to release gives this problem, so there is a problem

it's just how git works

nice. im up and running i believe

26 minutes from start to finish. awesome stuff sech1

you didn't count monerod syncing :D

of course don't really have any idea if its all ok but ah well

my monerods syncd

if your p2pool node doesn't spit out warnings then it's ok

i gotta forward any ports for full awesomeness?

you can try to run "loglevel 5" command in p2pool console to check if there is really no warnings

open port 37890 for incoming connections

if you used port number from instruction on github

what about reproducible build? Isn't the point of release branch to always have fixed versions for all dependencies?

my god this is so awesome. im mining on a monero p2pool

sech1: not really, as you checkout a specific tag for reproducible builds

not a branch

ok

a dream come true for gingeropolous :D

hrm. nestling this behind tor / i2p too much lag?

bad idea

yzat

this might speed up block propagation but it doesn't seem to be the bottleneck monero-project/monero #7803

RRRAAAAHHHHH! P2POOOOOL! When can we shout it from the rooftops

bottleneck is transaction verification and the time it takes to update the physical blockchain LMDB on disc

estimate hr is based on same estimate calcs as other pool implementation?

i'll let it bake for a while and see what it says

is it worth configuring zmq on xmrig?

estimate hashrate is based on your p2pool shares, so it's very approximate

xmrig with zmq is more efficient, it will get blocks from monerod without delay

that is, if you're solo mining

you don't need to do it with p2pool

yeah, i was curious about p2pool and zmq. one of my xmrigs had zmq setup and i didn't change it, so its still using it i guess?

it's using zmq only for direct connections to monerod

xmrig is?

xmrig

p2pool also uses zmq and also for direct connections to monerod

hrm. so if xmrig is configured to connect to the p2pool, but it still has the zmq connection to monerod, is that gonna make things not work right?

im getting these error ECONNREFUSED

It's probably because I was restarting one of my nodes

you tried to connect to it, it refused

if xmrig connects to p2pool, it's not mining solo (from xmrig's perspective), so it won't use zmq

k. danke

someone remind me again why we have a bridge from a network primarily used for gaming

got 1 share, yay

told you, it's a better lottery :)

because all the cool kids are using discord hyc

Also the pretty uncool ones, looks like.

I've added 2 phones to my pool. an staggering increase of 550H/s

hmmmmmmm. the charge time went up from 3.5hrs to 7hrs on this phone. that means the miner is eating more juice than the charger is putting out.

so this is using more than 5W

mebbe I should stop it until full charge and try again

A lot of modern phones charge at higher than 5W are you sure that's the phone's max or just your charger?

it is the charger

of course I'm sure...

My wife always steals one of my USB-C laptop chargers to charge her phone to get that sweet sweet extra 3W lol.

So, I compiled p2pool and monerod on WSL2 and am running both, should I wait for p2pool to sync before connecting the miners?

yes

it says that in README already

oh yeah. Okay lol. RTFM, QB, like jeez.

WSL2? But you can compile native Windows binary

Yeah, I don't know how to do that, so I was just using your instructions since I had Ubuntu already installed.

in msys64 or Visual Studio

Seems to be working (a whopping 850 h/s).

But either way, it's running "natively" in WSL anyway via HyperV and I already had xmrig on one of my windows machines so it's running in Windows normally anway. This way if something weird happens I can just shut it down and delete it.

FWIW I always start the miner right after p2pool, always worked.

it works right after start, but it won't mine on the correct chain until p2pool syncs everything

I see. Thanks.

It's essentially solo mining until then, so there's still a chance it'll find a block...

another block found

2437944

woohoo. got a payout

not me this time :(

even with my 20+ KH/s, I didn't get any shares in 5 hours

wow

y'think the window is big enough?

I should have 2-3 shares in window on average, this is probably bad luck

sidechain 14MH

Wow

'status' in p2pool shows Your hashrate (est) = 0 H/s even though I have a client connected. Is this an average computed over time so it's just not updated yet?

it's from your p2pool shares, if you have 0 blocks it will show 0 h/s

Ah I see. I wonder if it would be benificial to show the total hashrate coming in via the stratum server as well because for non-technical users like me, it might cause confusion.

yes, it's on my todo list

so what happens if we increase the pplns window? what are the drawbacks?

too much space used by coinbase transaction

having 0 shares in PPLNS window is fine. It's not required to get payouts

it usually happens when p2pool has high hashrate, so finding a share almost guarantees a payout

low hashrate miners will run dry for a few days, then find a share and get 1 or maybe even more payouts in 6 hours

Has there ever been a coinbase on mainnet with multiple outputs before? Has this code functionality been planned before, just never utilized?

I can’t recall ever seeing it, that’s for surr

Had no idea such a cool thing was even possible

Like, was this in the original CryptoNote code base?

There are loads of them, early on.

Every single one until v3 IIRC.

Except the first one.

yes, but not to multiple wallets

How do you know ? :D

unless someone went to great lengths to rewrite monerod code...

and then mine a block

Why would anybody split the coinbase except for p2pool mining?

Splitting outputs into denominations?

just open xmrchain.net and look at old blocks, before height ~1220000

So is it possible in the future that p2pool mining will be integrated into the Monero GUI as an option instead of solo mining?
